Fox News host Andrea Tantaros advised women on Thursday that they should always be ready to give their man a sandwich after sex and a beer after his shower if they wanted the relationship to last. Earlier this week, Glamour magazine retracted a column of tips for making men falling in love after women complained that the list was misogynistic. Tantaros, however, said that ideas like making a man a snack after sex was not taking women back to the 1950s.
Look at this list, it has great suggestions in here! she exclaimed. After you engage in a little horizontal hula, make him a sandwich. Thats not called 1950s. Thats called kindness. And frankly, I think women should do a little more of that. Whats wrong with giving your man a brewski when he comes out of the shower? Tantaros asked. Who needs a brewski out of the shower? comedian Ryan Reiss chimed in. What are you dating Don Draper? Whats going on? Ive never gotten out of the shower and been like, I need to get drunk quick.'
You dont have the right woman, co-host Stacey Dash insisted. I think thats why divorce rates are so high. Women dont know how to take care of their men anymore. Reiss speculated that husbands had affairs with their housekeepers because they have a great outfit and they cook great. If youre not answering the door in your lingerie, maybe hell run off with the neighbor, Tantaros agreed. I dont think it has to do with taking women back in time, I just think its kindness, she continued. Im a very traditional old-fashioned girl and I do these things for my man. I do. And thats why they are always smiling.
And theyre drunk, Reiss added. Because you give them beer right out of the shower. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/fox-host-the-role-of-modern-women-is-to-engage-in-a-little-horizontal-hula-and-then-make-him-a-sandwich/

(65,616 posts)Poor lady, doesn't she have any real friends? No doubt Biff Bigstud told her to go fetch him a beer (after his shower) in hopes it would insult her into leaving...alas she stuck around for 5 years.
That is so dense, I think we need a new atomic number to describe it. Something like lead, but even more malleable. At least he doesn't roll over and fart on her after sex (well just those 1000 times)...but wow...right to the showers - no 'cuddle time' for Andrea. And she is okay with that. Because Man Stuff. Or whatever.
No wonder Foxnews viewers lose all functioning braincells over time.

(9,527 posts)I'm a guy, but I'm perfectly capable of making my own sandwich, and I'm picky enough that I'm probably better off doing so anyway. Also, if she still has the energy to go make a sandwich right after sex, she and her partner may be doing it wrong.
I would find it a little creepy if a woman was trying to be that overtly do anything for me type. But I'm weird in that I want a woman who can and will tell me when I'm being an ass or when she thinks I'm wrong. Of course I was also told by a woman that she only ever saw me really smile after I got kicked in the face, so maybe I'm weirder than I think (in my defense this was in the context of martial arts and getting kicked in the face meant I learned where I had a weakness).

and their ratings still aren't worth as much money as CNN & NBC because their viewers skew SO old. so they just find beauty pageant communications majors/political interns and call them hosts

I think maybe that'she why I never married. I didn'the want to live like that.

(16,423 posts)The list codifies what a woman must do to make a man happy, but it also codifies what a man must like to achieve happiness.
A woman is a person, not a servant checking things on a list.
A man is a person, not a pet that can be made complacent by feeding it a treat.
A man wants a woman with whom he can share his passions, someone where he can mentally relax and be himself. Love happens in the head, not through bribery with sex and alcohol.

That line was written for Tantaros and designed to cause a media buzz. Nothing more and nothing
less.
